Salmon Tacos



These tacos are a great and easy way to introduce fish into your week, and take advantage of those omega 3s. I've made this recipe twice already and I can't wait to make it again because it's so quick and taste so summery with the yogurt sauce and the cilantro.

Ingredients
1/2 cup (125mL) plain yogurt
1 lime, zest and juice
5-10 drops hot sauce - or more if you like it spicy
2 filets salmon, with skin
1 tbsp (15mL) smoked paprika
1 tbsp (15mL) garlic powder
6-9 small tortillas
1/2 cup (125mL) cilantro, coarsely chopped
2 leaves lettuce, coarsely chopped

Method
1. Preheat oven at 450 F on broil.
2. Make the yogurt sauce by mixing the yogurt, the zest of 1 lime as well as its juice. You can also add drops of hot sauce to your liking for an extra kick. Set aside.
3. Cover a baking sheet with foil and place salmon on it. Sprinkle the smoked paprika and the garlic powder on the salmon and rub it all over the flesh.
4. Put salmon in oven on middle rack. Broil for about 10 minutes or until the fish is cooked and can easily be flaked.
5. Prepare all the other ingredients and set the table while your fish cooks.
6. Once salmon is fully cooked, remove from skin and flake in large pieces.
7. Assemble your tacos and enjoy! To keep it fresh, serve them with a bean or a vegetable salad.

Serves 2-3.
